詩篇 77:2
- 10
When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.
I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
"Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?
Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"
Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
我在患難之日尋求主；我在夜間不住的舉手禱告；我的心不肯受安慰。
我想念神，就煩燥不安；我沉吟悲傷，心便發昏。（細拉）
你叫我不能閉眼；我煩亂不安，甚至不能說話。
我追想古時之日，上古之年。
我想起我夜間的歌曲，捫心自問；我心裡也仔細省察。
難道主要永遠丟棄我，不再施恩嗎？
難道他的慈愛永遠窮盡，他的應許世世廢棄嗎？
難道神忘記開恩，因發怒就止住他的慈悲嗎？（細拉）
我便說：這是我的懦弱，但我要追念至高者顯出右手之年代。

No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, "Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?"
Such a person feeds on ashes; a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"
誰心裡也不醒悟，也沒有知識，沒有聰明，能說：「我曾拿一分在火中燒了，在炭火上烤過餅；我也烤過肉吃。這剩下的，我豈要作可憎的物嗎？我豈可向木?子叩拜呢？」
他以灰為食，心中昏迷，使他偏邪，他不能自救，也不能說：「我右手中豈不是有虛謊嗎？」

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
你們中間的爭戰鬥毆是從那裡來的呢？不是從你們百體中戰鬥之私慾來的嗎？
你們貪戀，還是得不著；你們殺害嫉妒，又鬥毆爭戰，也不能得。你們得不著，是因為你們不求。
